One foot out the door?
Tristan is doing fantastic! She was recently moved into the Intermediate Care Unit, which is still part of the NICU, just for babies that need to gain weight and grow to go home.The Doc called today and said twice (count 'em TWICE) in the same message that she was doing great! The problem with the Chylothorax has cleared up, so hopefully we will begin to be able to wean her off the special formula since I found out today how much it's going to cost us, and of course the insurance isn't going to pay for it... figures.And the fluid on her lungs has decreased and is just part of the lungs healing from the RSV.She lost half an ounce, nothing too significant in my book, compared to the pound from the other day, which was apparently real water-weight loss. She is eating like a mad-girl, she has been eating 55-60 cc's at every feeding, so they are going to try to increase her to more than that. Yeah!Also, we are signed up for CPR classes for tomorrow, and that's supposed to be a sign that the end is drawing near.But all in all, she is continuing to do well, no word on a day to come home yet though.Here are some pics of her from tonite. TJ and Grandpa Hughes think that she is going to have red hair. I'm not convinced, but she surely has "invisible" eyebrows like her mom. We'll see!!

I am so glad that Tristan is doing better by the minute.. The end is near just hang on.. Hope all is well and we love you guys.. If you need anything just give me a call.. Love ya..
Yeah, people keep telling us that everyday is one day closer.... I get that, it's just that nobody knows when the end is... That really could be applied to anything in life, whatever.
We are getting so close, I can't wait!
